Guilt-Free Cookies? Seriously, They Exist!

Cranberry-Coconut Flaxseed & Oatmeal Cookies

This week at Chews Healthy, I decided to try something completely different, cookies! Everyone likes cookies, in fact I have never met someone who would turn down a cookie. Hypothetically speaking, if they did turn one down I would just assume they were a diet or just plain crazy.  Assuming they are not mentally unstable, and just health conscious, I decided to try and make this batch of cookies as healthy and guilt-free as possible.

These cookies are loaded with nutrition and flavour! Each cookie is made with rolled organic oats, whole wheat flour, ground flaxseeds, agave nectar, cranberries and unsweeted coconuts. Not to mention that there is no refined sugar in this recipe. The flaxseeds are packed with fibre, proteins, omega-3 fatty acids and Lignans. Lignans are "a type of phytoestrogen that may protect against certain types of cancer, including breast cancer and prostate cancer. Even the National Cancer Institute has identified its cancer-fighting potential." (B. Hand and N. Nichols. 2013).

Okay, so let's get started!
